CRAZY FOR THE CUP!
The USA team started off the tournament ranked number 13 out of 32 teams. Although, the first round has just concluded, the US ended up wining one game and tying two.
Why is it that every other country stops what they are doing to watch their team play a match in the World Cup, and the US can’t pause for a second? Is it because the USA team has never been a strong player in the tournament, or is it because Americans just don’t care about soccer? Is it because we have so many other sports going on from football and basketball to UFC fights that we just do not have the time or the energy for one more sport!
In my opinion, it has to do with us not being one of the top teams in the tournament. Americans tend to be fair weather fans, I mean look at the recent Lakers vs. Celtic games, all of a sudden people who I know didn’t watch basketball were getting to bars 2 hours early, just so they could get a “good seat” to watch the game. Really? But will the USA team ever be that good? We have some hope this year with captain Carlos Bocanegra and Landon Donavon who have been playing extremely well in the past few games. It is just up to the team as a whole to finish what they have started and continue to surprise the rest of the world.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand, the World Cup. As of now, the United States team has passed the first round. This is determined as follows:
a. the greatest number of points obtained in all group matches,
b. goal difference in all group matches
c. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
Although I am a team USA fan, I do want Portugal to make it far. What about you? Who do you want to see win?
over && out, Candice.

Women are busier than ever before — from constantly multitasking to always striving to look great every moment of everyday. Here are some tips on how to transform a daytime work outfitinto an evening look that will get you the attention you deserve.
Tip #1: Make a statement with a pencil skirt
I recommend wearing a black pencil skirt to give presence and distinction. A blueberry top adds balance and credibility. If you’re looking for more impact, or some pizzazz for a special date once you punch out, creating a color contrast is an option; a sparkling wine or berry color works perfectly. If your body silhouette is curvy, look for pencil skirts that don’t hug your figure too tightly.
Tip #2: Add or switch accessories
A pencil skirt look best with 1 to 4-inch heels. Try kitten heels, pumps and peep-toes for work, and sandals for night. For evening outings, try to take just a clutch or a small bag. Big or medium sizes are appropriate for daytime.
Tip #3: Jewelry is flattering for day & night
Change from toned-down day/work jewelry to something that makes more of a statement at night. Your face and body shape should help you choose the right jewelry. Small jewelry can get lost on large figures, while bold pieces may overpower petites.I recommend leaving oversized jewelry for date night! When it comes to jewelry, size does matter!
